DEATH OF ROMEO
(April 19th 2004)
I woke up all alone,
I woke up you were gone
Cold beside you were like fire besides me,
Now your breathing is so slow
Cold beside me, you were so warm beside me,
Now your breathing is so slow
This is the death of Romeo
‘tis but morning but you’ve already changed worlds
My bride is there lying her grave, tell me how this is fair
Can I kiss you my love, oh will you revive?
Hey, none can bring back angels
Rise, my love, won’t you rise my love
What have you done?
This is the death of Romeo
My life hangs only by a thread…
Seeing her lying there…
I wish but one thing to join her united my body is cooling as hers
This is the death of Romeo
So here’s to you, my love
